Hence chiropractic therapy actually aims at the well being of the entire human body.

Chiropractic therapy appears, to many as a massage by a qualified masseuse, indeed a Chiropractor is a certified medicine practitioner, who makes uses of his fingers to release blockage and enhance blood flow by manipulating several pressure points located on different areas of our face, neck, hands, legs and back. It may look as simple as that but actually Chiropractors receive college degrees and professional degrees and undergo intensive training, before they can start practice.

Chiropractors are trained to detect misalignment, tenderness and asymmetry; in joints, bones, muscles and spinal tendons. They are also trained to perform cardiovascular, orthopedic and neurological tests. They are trained to access range of motion, stability, muscle strength, muscle tone. They can diagnose X-ray, CT scans, laboratory tests like any other medical practitioner.

Chiropractic therapy helps relieve: headaches, muscular aches, back aches, aches and pains in limbs, arthritic pain, repetitive strain and the pain that is caused by the air pressure that fills up the thorax or the abdominal area. It is an effective treatment for scoliosis, vertigo and sciatica. It is also used to correct tissue inflammation, stiffness, bad postures and reflexes. It helps straighten nerves that are twisted and blocked, allowing blood and oxygen to flow freely, hence fulfilling the need of the human body. Nerves enable the brain to function and chiropractics allow the human body to maintain a healthy nervous system.
